... Ryunosuke. How nice of you to join us. I see you're rather eager to make it look like I'm up to no good in front of my new friend.

[ he sighs, ever so dramatically, shaking his head all the while. it figures this is how it's going to be, but he isn't going for the offensive just yet.

It isn't poison, no, but it is something that will help you acclimate much better to the environment around here. You were already interested in it, no? [ he didn't miss that look in sebastian's eyes, after all. ] As for that guy, [ he waves his hand dismissively at ryunosuke, ] he is one of those I was hoping we didn't have to run into.

[ his head tilts at ryunosuke, smiling. ]

He's the biggest liar between the two of us, so I would be careful not to believe what he says.
